Dark Dystopian Soundscapes.

For the discerning Sound Designers and Musicians seeking to inject a unique brand of tension and drama into their compositions, we are thrilled to present our innovative sound collection: Tension. Endorsed by the highly esteemed Alan Wilder of Depeche Mode, Tension is a meticulously curated suite of dark, ominous textures, brooding drones, atmospheric ambiences, sharp stingers, and more. These expertly crafted sonic elements, designed to evoke unease and suspense, are perfect for constructing anxiety-filled moments, unsettling soundscapes, or even for adding a touch of musical foreboding. Tension harmoniously blends the worlds of sound design and music, thanks to the talent of Hollywood sound design veterans Charles Maynes and Jason Payne. This library stands as a testament to their masterful ability to manipulate sound into a truly haunting and suspenseful auditory experience.

Cuckooland Gets new life!

This is very similar to the old Cuckooland series but updated quality and more intricacy. Great for adding prolonged sense of dread to any scene!

This delivers on tension-filled atmospheres. It is less differentiated from other products on the market than most other libraries by Soundmorph.

Good price/quality value for the sales price

I bought the pack during the Halloween sales as it has been a long time since I've bought sample packs.

Although I wouldn't have bought it at full price, the sales price had a good price/quality value

Nice!

I love the sounds of it, but it could have some more focus on horror sounds. For example it is in the "horror bundle", but most ofthe pack is sci fi space sounds. But still. It is an awesome pack!

Atmospheric and deep tension sounds

Great atmospheric sounds for tension and horror cues

Fantastic sounds- great quality

The sounds are fantastic- great quality, very usable, and definitely inspiring for tension-driven scoring, whether it's straight forward teaser scoring or more complex long arrangements across genres. The design and depth of the samples make this a strong toolkit for cinematic sound design. That said, I was a little disappointed that there isn’t a dedicated player or NKS files for Kontakt included. Having that integration would have made the experience even smoother.

I love Tension and I use it a lot in layering gently beneath other sounds to give them a different edge. So many uses beyond the obvious!
